I re-created this thread since #IV got too large for the dial-upers. Everyone is welcome to this thread and welcome to post. All I ask is that you follow the guidelines I have set for this thread, we need to keep the dial-upers in mind. Enjoy.... (-:<

SETI/BOINC MILESTONE THREAD GUIDELINES:

01. You must be a current, active participant in the science of this project to post milestone messages. 02. This thread is for announcements of milestones for any BOINC project. 03. This thread will allow helping new users only if related to SETI/BOINC. 04. This thread will not allow milestones not related to SETI/BOINC or other BOINC projects. 05. This thread will not allow flaming any other users. [See this thread.] 06. This thread will not allow minus rating, plus rating is fine. 07. This thread will not allow any profanity. 08. This thread will not allow 'stretching': no imbedded graphics/pics and while quoting a post with a very long URL in it, fix it if you know BBCode, otherwise delete it or place spaces in it to break it up so it will wrap properly. Another option is to use this site to create a new link. If you must include a graphic/pic in your post, create a link to it, no thumbnails.

01. Set "Show images as links". This will also create a link for images in signatures, but will not hide avatars. 02. Set "Hide avatar images". All you will see is the username and stats. 03. Set "Hide signatures". Some signatures have useful information, links to related sites and such and witty quotes. If you set #1 above, you will still see the information, but any images would be loaded as a link. If you set this, there will be no signatures displayed.

04. In the section Display and Behavior set the option If a thread contains more than this number of posts to 30 or so and the option only display the first one and this many of the last ones to 25 or so, to minimize the load of old posts you have already seen. New and unread posts still will display.

Sorry for the delay stickifying this thread... I've been swamped lately. :-)

I love message boards..! *grin*

stickifying - the application of the value "sticky" to a message board post;
. . the act or process of "stickification"

Is it safe to say that an Optimized Client is "always" an improvement?

I'm working off a laptop (see my 'puters), and find myself more of the mentality "if it ain't broke, don't try an' fix it", so I'm hesitant to go messing about with alternate software options at present...

Cx, this thread is not for general discussion, it's primarily for posting and discussing milestones. Getting help for problems is also allowed, as long as any discussion doesn't overwhelm the topic of this thread. There are several threads about optimized clients, which is not a "problem" to be getting help for in this thread. Please use those threads for getting optimized client information.
